Wow, very impressive list actually - I had no idea!
It feels to me like the successes of the NY teams may have had a lot of residual effect that's starting to show up more and more. Probably the Devils successes too. I think in particular the Rangers have been well-represented in pop culture from 80s/90s sitcoms to late-night television and movies where many prominent Jewish actors/personalities wear the Rangers jerseys regularly going back to the 80s and 90s (from memory).
A couple of other important hockey figures would be Sam Rosen and Gary Bettman.

Well maybe not super important, that might have been the wrong word, but he has had a HOF career IMO.

Would explain why there's rarely any games on Friday night.

I think they're half Jewish but consider themselves Jewish. I wouldn't have guessed because their last name isn't Jewish.

Only the first two and last two days they cannot if it’s part of work. I’d argue they can if it’s just for fun at home. This should be in the Talmud.

Ya, Hughes isn’t exactly Rubenstein.
The Hart Trophy was donated by Dr. David Hart, who was Jewish.
Dr. Hart was the father of Cecil Hart, manager/coach of the Habs for their 1924, 1930, and 1931 Cups.

I mean basically half that list comes from one single family.
But yeah, it is a higher calibre list than ever before

Ok, that shit is funny.
The Ruben Goldstein shit isn’t, just some stereotyping lowbrow ape humor.
Anyways- half Jewish here, and I remember googling professional Jewish athletes as a teen. It’s.. not a long list, and the unathletic Jew is absolutely a stereotype. So, like- seeing Jews exceed in the NHL is cool. Seeing black players exceed is cool, or Asian players, because those are minority groups in the NHL, and that representation might matter to someone. Had no clue the Hughes were Jewish, that’s dope.
PS- Jew is not actually derogatory, but the fact that you likely think it is kinda speaks to the context we’re all inculcated in.
Sorry to be all serious, glad these guys are having success and are likely inspiring a lot of kids!

Jared from Subway…..yup…..a Jew!
That makes them Jewish, not half Jewish.
and Jordan Harris
Black Jewish NHL player Jordan Harris has a goal: To diversify hockey
But Harris is also one of roughly a dozen Jews in the league, putting him in a class of one: the NHL’s only Black Jewish player on the ice.
